The courier is 2x4
And the bravo is 4x4 int not constant awd or anything just Low and high range etc
I've been looking at it a lot today only things I can see that may be an issue is the torsion setup on the courie is slightly different but sits in the exact same position on both vehicles .
And the gear box crossmember sits in a different position which is easily over come

As above I have a 2001 2wd ford courier and a mate has a written off bravo 4wd ute it's an 03 or 04 model but practicly the same .same engine etc but it's 4wd turbo diesel not 2wd .
My question is I know the courier is a bravo rebadged but are the 4wd and 2wd chassis the same ?
Can I make my 2wd courier a 4wd? I have looked and everything looks pretty I identicle
A couple of engine differences but I'm not interested in the bravo engine.
I wanna bolt my engine to the 4wd box then bolt it in my car ?
Would the ecus be different ?
Any much appreciated
Cheers

Do this ^^^^^
if u can hook up a consult an run for errors that would help aswell
Does the car blow much greyish smoke on boost or under WOT
Try spraying butane gas or aero start around ur silicone hoses and vacuume lines while it's running .
if there is a leak the idle will pick up when u spray round the leak

Very good idea I wanna build mine aswell...
So there could be a lot of helpful info

My car with the same mods as made just over 190 rwkw
Stock with exhaust and cooler and 12psi and stock turbo it made 150rwkw mate .
U may have a restriction somewhere
Try dropping the cat and see if it's still good and not collapsed ?
Do a compression test ur motor may just be worn out
Is ur car automatic?
Autos will have less power due to power loss through more transmission
If its manual how old is the clutch
There are a few places to start

Do a search mate not long ago there was a thread started for this I think it's in this section
Can't rennet exactly wat separates the two but pretty sure gas something to do with hot wire and sticker alignment on the side

Ok turbo is a vj33 ihi unit
they put the vnt unit on the ranger bt50 2.5 common rails
This morning checked car again been busy with my business shite
And when I looked at turbo there was a lil puddle of oil in the exhaust housing so am pretty much sure seals are gone
When I start it . It won't rev past 3 k without becoming retarded coughing smoke an not wanting to rev any more is this a common thing when seals go ? I've had seals petrol turbo cars and they just blow white smoke constantly
Mine only really does it a 3k so that's why I'm a lil hesitant to rip the turbo off just yet
I took the intake pipe fans seem ok no play at all but is a lil hard to spin
Also when I took the hot ic pipe off and revved the car still did the same thing ????
Also turbo seems to suck and blow fine
Is there a way I can test the injector pump ?
I bypassed the filter to make sure it wasn't that
But as for the pump itself I dunno how to check it
Also did a air leak test and didn't have any I could find
So yeah really needing advice right now hahah
Cheers again

Should put this in forced induction
But they may have had issues with te bov leaking and yet took it of
What turbo ?
What boost etc?
-
Yeah cas or igniter most probably cas
-
Not sure I googled it but not much came up ?
Why is that ?
-
Yeah I would say its ur Cas aswell It has to be a series 1 rb 25 Cas to work
-
Alright time for an update
Been busy getting stuffed around for work
Ok new problem has arose to add to my woes hahaha
Yesterday was driving home on the highway and the car started surging pretty bad ad losing power like it was a non turbo with effed rings
Also why it's surging it loses all boost and coughs up blueish smoke ?
I thought the Turbo may have given so I pulled the dump off to check the seals and wheels and all seems good
I have suspected my rear muffler is on its way out because it's always had a rattle from the back of the car like someone is shaking some m12 bolts in a milo tin I'm about to drop the muffler and see if that makes it any better ? Would a collapsed muffler cause these symptoms? I personally don't thinks so but yeh
If not I will comp test engine and do a air leak test
Anybody no how to run these cars for errors?

Where!!!!????
Thinking Of Buying A Great Wall...

Haven't heard to much bad about the 2006 and onwards bravo and rangers / couriers but from 98-06 the bravo/courier 2.5 turbo diesel has a few problems
They chew glow plugs
Prone to cracking the head
Generally just run a bit too hot
The 2wd box is weak as shit an generally blows 5th gear
And the 4wd blow diffs fairly easily
My 2 c I'm not a fan of the great walls although I've herd good and bad but i wouldn't tell someone not to buy one if they wanted one
